It was big, it was massively intricate, it was the greatest craft beer-laced summer kickoff you could have hoped to attend; it was Real Ale Brewing Company’s 18th anniversary party. This was the one I hoped I would land since I began this photography experiment, to tell you the truth. Talking to people, tasting brews, and composing both together in one shot has been my only goal the last 20,000 shutter snaps. I’m growing, that’s what I’m most proud of. Oh, and I was clear-headed the entire time (not sober, though—never!) so I didn’t get into any Star Wars debates or ask people to snuggle up to strangers. (I didn't talk Star Wars and snuggle up to strangers, either.) I worked for a goal: to produce something memorable at an unforgettable event. I did realize something at Real Ale, though. I'm not selling fun, it's already there, all I want to do is make it permanent. As always, here’s The Second Shooter's Facebook album as well as the Flickr album. Share the suds, good souls.
